American Student Assistance® (ASA) and The DeBruce Foundation (DBF) joined forces to develop and deliver engaging career literacy resources with young people. The user experience within ASA’s free skill-building and career experimentation platform, EvolveMe®, relies on students to self-direct their selection and completion of career exploration tasks including proprietary assessments and tools provided by DBF.
Part of ASA’s suite of digital career readiness experiences for teens, EvolveMe, pairs effectively with DBF’s youth-informed resource creation. The success of this collaborative approach can be seen in the 99% completion rate of DBF tasks in EvolveMe in 2024 as well as feedback from users. Students who engage with DBF’s tasks on EvolveMe report that “it is easy to understand,” “very cool,” “really inspiring,” “fun and informative,” and “so good.”
